  1. ncbi Anchorage of mature conifers: resistive turning moment, root-soil plate geometry and root growth orientation
    Tor Lundström
    WSL, Swiss Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF, CH 7260 Davos, Switzerland
    Tree Physiol 27:1217-27. 2007
    ..The lack of difference in anchorage parameters among species probably reflects the similar belowground growth conditions of the mature trees...
  2. ncbi Fresh-wood bending: linking the mechanical and growth properties of a Norway spruce stem
    Tor Lundström
    WSL, Swiss Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF, 7260 Davos Dorf, Switzerland
    Tree Physiol 27:1229-41. 2007
    ..The standing tree exhibits an inner stem structure that is well designed for bending, especially at a mature stage...
  3. ncbi Fresh-stem bending of silver fir and Norway spruce
    Tor Lundström
    WSL, Swiss Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF, 7260 Davos Dorf, Switzerland
    Tree Physiol 28:355-66. 2008
    ..Methods to test and calculate MOE, MOR and W for the stems of living trees are discussed with the aim of improving analyses of tree biomechanics and assessments of forest stability protection...
  4. ncbi Analysing the mechanical performance and growth adaptation of Norway spruce using a non-linear finite-element model and experimental data
    T Lundstrom
    WSL, Swiss Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF, 7260 Davos Dorf, Switzerland
    J Exp Bot 59:2513-28. 2008
    ..In conclusion, the mechanical performance of the Norway spruce studied was mostly very high, indicating that their overall growth had been clearly influenced by the external site- and tree-specific mechanical stress...

    Tor Lundström
    WSL, Swiss Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF, CH 7260 Davos, Switzerland
    Tree Physiol 29:345-59. 2009
    ..Such descriptions should help make computer simulations of rock-forest interrelations more precise and thus improve management strategies to ensure that forests can provide protection against rockfall...
